3 charged in shooting of 2 women in Tuscaloosa

One man and two juveniles have been jailed on attempted murder, assault and firearms charges in a shooting that left two female victims hospitalized with gunshot wounds Tuesday night, Tuscaloosa police said.

Each suspect will be held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail with bail set at $120,000.

About 9 p.m. Tuesday, Tuscaloosa police responded to a report of a shooting at Hay Court Apartments on 21st Street. Officers found two black females, ages 19 and 17 suffering from gunshot wounds.

The 19-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to the head. The 17-year-old was shot in the leg, police said. The 19-year-old was in critical condition earlier Wednesday. The 17-year-old was listed as stable, police said.

Investigators said the shooting may have stemmed from an ongoing dispute between two groups of males or an issue between one of the female victims and another female.
